It's time for a super awesome adventure! Prince Endymion and his Shitennou (loyal bodyguards, friends, confidants, and sons of the four rulers that swear allegiance to the Earth Kingdom from the four cardinal directions, North (Zoisite), West (Kunzite), East (Nephrite) and South (Jadeite)) are off on a tour of the Kingdom! The official story is that the five of them are to attend the marriage of Zoisite's cousin; it's a highborn affair and they're expected to be there, but rather than travel with the caravan of court, the five of them strike out by themselves with the wedding present, a fabulous gem, and make their own path on their own time! Through forests filled with ne'er-do-wells to magical cities with dragons and damsels-in-distress, the five of them break their way across the wonderous landscape of the Earth Kingdom!

Princes Zoisite and Endymion have started the journey already with the gem and their confidence in tow. They continue on the road together, knowing that the rest of their group will catch up with them at a later time. They are confronted by a group of bandits, who recognize Zoisite and mistake Endymion for a guard. They want to take Zoisite back to the king for a ransom, but then Jadeite and Nephrite come on horses and join the other two. In all the gusto of good intention, Nephrite lets it slip that the man the bandits believed to be a guard was actually Endymion, and he also mentions the valuable gem that they carry with them.

A fight breaks out between the bandits and the Shitennou! Our heroes win, but are unable to just leave the bandits to the wolves, so they tie them up and take them with them... only for the bandits to escape, knocking Endymion unconscious in the process. They make it to the closest town before the wolves could get them and Kunzite rejoins them; the next morning they try to work their way around telling Endymion what happened to him cause they're a little embarrassed, hahahaaa.... but they're ready to face the day and meet the people of the town!

aww the first "things to know", kept FOR POSTERITY:

OH BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT! We're trying complete the October Challenge, so NO SLOW POSTERS! ;D We won an activity contest with this RP once and I'm addicted to winning so you have to win with me XD You join and you are agreeing to a must-post contract that you will sign. In blood. Or dark red font color. Whichever is easiest to see over the internet. We'll get back to you on that.

In all seriousness, it's a lighthearted RP about running around slaying dragons and fighting bandits and having adventures before the world ends. This might be the first in a series of lighthearted Shitennou RP's taking place in the Silver Millennium, so you might be called upon again (if you so choose) to participate in a future RP. Maybe about ... MAYBE ABOUT A SEA VOYAGE!! LIKE THEY'RE SAILING THE MEDITERRANEAN AND GET CAPTURED BY PIRATES! AND THEN ARE KEPT OUT AT SEA AND LIVE THE PIRATES' LIFE FOR A WHILE! Can you imagine?! Swashbuckling, seasickness (why do I think of Zoisite and Jadeite? Because hilarity that's why), buried treasure, sailing by the stars alone! It's a very romantic (in the adventurous sense of the word!) idea! And you, too, could take part. *Raises eyebrows seductively*

In short: joooin ussss
